For those waiting for another dog, tell me, how do you cope/think? Knowing how much you want another dog but you must wait and that wait is longer then it should be.

Even the people that are happy with the dogs they have, how did you feel as you waited for some of those dogs?

I'm curious because I go through this a lot, lol. I love Sunny and Serenity but god do I want a SBT. Some days I question why I brung home a herding breed and not a Bull Breed but to late now. I was raised about SBTs but I also had a soft spot for herding breeds due to one we owned, Commando.

In reality, even if I could own one, I know I wouldn't be ready for several reasons so I keep telling myself why I wouldn't be ready. I want to prove to myself I can accomplish things with these two before I ever own a SBT otherwise there'd be no point in getting a SBT.

It just kills me to think of the wait. I don't see myself moving out anytime soon so I'd have to wait for one of these two to die (I am not in a rush for this) but Sunny is only 6 (in October) and well.. That's going to be a long wait. It just seems so weird to have to wait so long for another dog. I do hope I'm lucky enough to somehow get a SBT in at least 4 years.

My jealousy isn't helped when my sister might be getting a SBT once (IF) she puts a granny flat in the backyard.. And my brother might get one soon.. Gah! I hate them both >< I miss my first SBT, Guage, dearly.. And I miss having a dog like him. He was amazing.

Don't get me wrong, I adore my dogs, I wouldn't get rid of them just to get another dog but I miss having a Bull Breed around, I love their personality, I love so much about them. I believe things happen for a reason and these two Mutts have a lot to show me before I can own another dog.

The main thing that gives me comfort about waiting is knowing I'll be ready after a few years, Serenity will be easier to handle, Sunny will ether be gone or he'll be old. I'll know so much more, consistent with what I need to do with raising a SBT. At the moment, I couldn't put the effort in to SBT like I'd want to.
